Noon UPDATE: A tractor-trailer rear-ended a University of Colorado Health ambulance responding to a traffic accident at about 9:45 a.m. near the intersection of Colo. 392 and Weld County Road 27 in Windsor.

Windsor-Severance Fire Rescue Battalion Chief Todd Vess said the ambulance was stopped in traffic about 400 yards from the scene of the wreck when a tractor-trailer failed to stop and rear-ended the ambulance. He said the impact mostly damaged the rear end and side of the ambulance.

A paramedic and emergency medical technician stationed on ambulance at the time of the wreck were transported to Medical Center of the Rockies with “non-life-threatening injuries,” Vess said.

He said the wreck wouldn’t impact ambulance service in Windsor today, as the service has a back-up ambulance it can use.

10 a.m. UPDATE: The sun broke through a low-level cloud bank and is turning snowpacked roads in Greeley into slush after the morning rush hour wrapped up. Streets around the city were mostly clear after the storm dumped several inches of snow overnight.

Roads outside of the city, however, are a different story. Colo. 14 from Fort Collins to Ault is snowpacked and slick, especially closer to Ault. U.S. 85 between Ault and Greeley is also slick, and county roads in the area have several inches of snow on them.

The Colorado Department of Transportation reports blowing snow and icy patches along highways outside of the city including U.S. 85 toward the Wyoming border, U.S. 34 east of Greeley and Interstate 76 across Weld County.

CDOT also tweeted that there were multiple reports of accidents and slide-offs along those roadways this morning, especially in northern Weld where the commute was “treacherous.”.

Temperatures are still predicted to warm up to around 40 degrees Monday and reach into the mid-40s on Tuesday.
